Response disputes the claims of the Request, stating that
the pipeline has very little impact in Cameroon, both
environmentally and aesthetically. The Response states that
infrastructure around the pipeline will improve due to the
creation of roads and that the land around the pipeline will
be available for farming and grazing. It is acknowledged
that the health services branch of the project has advanced
the least. There are currently plans to collect data on the
needs of the communities and provide appropriate medical
services where needed. There are also plans to continue
developing and strengthening the national capacity to deal
with oil spills. The Management's response to other
claims, including water pollution and loss of fishing areas,
states that these areas will be monitored, although losses
and contamination appear to be minimal. The Annexes address
individual claims from various communities and provide
detailed responses to each. The Management states that it
believes the Bank has made every effort to follow policy and
procedure in this project and that the Requestors'
right and interests have not been adversely affected by the Bank. Show Less -
